Bear River Winery

Annapolis Valley


All the estate-produced, award-winning wines made at this adorable little winery are created using solar energy, biodiesel, wind power and the natural slope of the property. Stop by for a free tour and tasting (July to September) or stay at the one-room B&B (from $90 per night) to enjoy wine-making workshops and retreats.
